Blue’s new Mikey iPod / iPhone microphone still rocks the retro

Blue Microphones’ original Mikey made the quite the impression when it landed back in late 2008, and while a good bit of time has passed, the new and improved version doesn’t stray from its roots. Debuting here at CES, the second-generation Mikey Portable Recorder for iPod and iPhone touts “improved circuitry for superior recording and enhanced new features,” which happens to include a pair of custom-tuned Blue capsules and an optimization for recording high-volume concerts. There’s also a 3.5mm line-input here for direct recording of other sources, and the USB pass-through connections enables simultaneous charging and syncing.
